who thought up this PCS thing anyway?!

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

It’s 0525. I have been up since 0400. No good reason, just up. Since sleep is apparently not on the high on the list of priorities for my body right now, I thought I would grace you with my presence.

Have I ever told you how much PCS prep sucks?!

Don’t get me wrong, I am looking forward to this move immensely, although right at this exact moment, I can’t differentiate between my desire to move and my desire to have this move over with.

My outlook calendar is bursting with color, my to do lists are never-ending and my energy level is dwindling. Bad combination. I am so very thankful Bryan made it home on the 8th instead of today, as originally expected because I don’t know how I would have gotten it all done without him and not taken someones head off in the process.

Thanks to a TMO (traffic management office for those non-mil types) screw up (who’s surprised…not me), we move to TLF (military temporary living facilities) Monday. Movers come Tuesday and Thursday. Yes, that’s not a typo, Tuesday and Thursday. My house will sit full of boxes and unlivable for a day because somehow Wednesday just totally fell off the radar even though back on June 8th we were booked for July 20th, 21st and 22nd. Only in the military can a day just vanish off the calendar. But…well…yeah, let’s not go there. We hand over the keys to the house on Friday and hit the road to Las Vegas on Sunday.

At this point, Sunday can not get here soon enough. Only 8 days 1 hour 43 minutes until we are on our new journey.

Anyhow, it is now 0551 and I have to be up at 0645, so I suppose I ought to go attempt to lay back down. Bryan and Jacey are headed to the Gulfarium with a friend while I get my last cut and color (I am going to really miss Wendy), then we are all meeting for lunch. Once we get back home, it is back to the to do lists…sigh.

No rest for the weary, uh wicked. Eh!?

1. Our vehicles are all detailed and waxed for the impending heat of Vegas.

2. Cut and color tomorrow, I <3 new hair :).

3. My iPhone 4. I didn’t think Bryan was going to actually give in…wait, truly I knew he would…eventually ;). I am SO spoiled.

4. Slowly but surely, we are getting things checked off the PCS prep list.

5. The staff at Niceville UMC. I am really going to miss them and was very blessed by those that were able to come to my going away lunch.

1. What food reminds you of your spouse?

Well, considering I am married to Mikey, it could be anything BUT anything mint would probably be the first thing that springs to mind.

 

2. Who would you rather sit next to in a cross-country plane ride: an irritating non-stop talker, or a quiet stare-er?

Even though, I am not a talker, the talker would probably be easier to tune out. I’d put some headphones in and go about my business. Staring on the other hand drives me batty.

 

3. What are your best tips on how to save money?

For us is is definitely to eat at home more. We can easily spend $800-1000 a month eating out (I am so ashamed to admit that). Otherwise, I use coupons if I have them. Can we tell I don’t put a lot of thought into specifically saving money?

 

4. What is your favorite summer memory?

By far, going to the “farm” with my grandparents as a kid. I got to play in fire, eat fresh corn on the cob, ride 4-wheelers and not take a shower for a week (shudder).

 

5. Do you believe in ghosts?

Nope. I do believe that you can feel a persons presence in things and around you when they die sometimes but not ghosts.

1. Bryan FINALLY made it home and is DONE with retraining.

2. Date day tomorrow! Bryan is taking me to see Eclipse.

3. My girls. I am going to miss our friendship and lunches so much.

4. Pedicures.

5. Yoga. It is helping me stay calm in the current craziness of life.

1. What is your favorite household chore?

Huh? Wait a minute, I am supposed to *have* a favorite household chore?! Hmm…does hitting the start button on the dishwasher count?

Honestly, I despise any sort of cleaning BUT I can’t stand a dirty house, so clean I must.

 

2. What is your favorite childhood memory?

Hmm…it’s probably a toss up between eating cherry tomatoes straight out of my Pap’s garden in my good Sunday dresses (I learned early how to make my Mom freak out) or sitting in my Meemaw’s lap eating Blue Bell Peaches & Cream ice cream. She is who is totally responsible for my ice cream obsession :).

 

3. What is your most embarrassing moment?

I’ll have to get back to you on this one someday. I have sat here for over 5 minutes trying to figure it out. Bryan says it is because I am too careful and don’t put my self in situations that would potentially become embarrassing.

 

4. What uniform of your spouse’s is your favorite?

Well, being that we are on our third daily wear uniform (woodland camo, then ABU’s and now flight suit), plus dress blues and the Honor Guard blues, my fav is still the good ole’ woodland camo. ABU’s have grown on me and I do find them quite sexy but I absolutely hate the flight suits. I’d better get used to it though, as it will be his uniform of the day for the next 10+ years.

Air Force uniforms in general leave much to be desired. Now, the Marine uniforms on the other hand….swoon :).

 

5. What canceled TV show do you miss the most?

Star Trek: The Next Generation….yeah, I’m a Trekkie. Surprised?
